    I was probably guilty of overhyping Hatton but it's hard not to when you are bombarded by so much media hype.

    I just wish we have a couple of true greats you know who beat prime americans, we have not even got one, sad really

      I used "biased Yank" in my post as a form of satire. Massachusetts is my state of residence.

          Mayweather will beat Pacman? He will at least make it until the third round.....

            The funny thing is over the last 10 years or so i don't remeber many too many top uk fighters stepping up and losing to American fighters.

            Lewis, Calzaghe, Hatton to 3 imo over the last 10 years, only Hatton was the one to get beat down badly by an American when he stepped up, the other 2 actually beat some good American fighters..

              Honeyghan took down Don Curry when he was reckoned by many to be the best p4p fighter in the world.

                British fighters are stepping up and doing very well. Recently Froch has made a statement by beating Taylor.

                  The threadstarter probably thinks Vitali and Pacman are yanks.

                  Mcdonalds is to blame for this thread
